Winget-CLI Issue - winget upgrade Not Showing Results #5202
Description
Brief description of your issue
When running:
winget source update --verbose && winget upgrade --include-unknown --include-pinned --verbose
the command initially shows available upgrades. However, after subsequent executions, no results are displayed, even though no updates were performed in between. Running winget source update --verbose does not resolve the issue.
Updates were not performed in between running "winget upgrade" commands, so they should still appear - however they do not.
Extensive logs and system diagnostics can be found on the Microsoft Feedback Hub here: https://aka.ms/AAug4te
Steps to reproduce
- Run:
winget source update --verbose && winget upgrade --include-unknown --include-pinned --verbose - The first execution correctly lists available updates.
- Run the same command again without installing any updates.
- No upgrade results appear, despite multiple attempts and source updates.
Expected behavior
winget upgrade should consistently display available upgrades whenever updates are detected.
Actual behavior
After one or two successful runs, winget upgrade intermittently fails to list any upgradeable packages, even though they should still be available.
